FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Press Release) Miami, Florida, September 8, 2010
-- Misuse of prescription narcotics leading to addiction
and the need for treatment - The misuse of prescription
narcotics is on the rise in several parts of the
world with prevalence of abuse in Canada and the
United States. Each year there are thousands of
deaths due to the illegal use of opiates such as
Oxycontin. In fact, in Ontario there have been more
deaths in the past decades due to abuse of prescription
drugs, even surpassing the number of lives that
are taken from HIV. According to the DEA, there
are about 300 deaths a year, but 6,000 emergency
visits.
The illegal use of prescription narcotics such as
Oxycontin, also known as hillbilly heroine, is a
persisting problem. According to a health administrator,
these prescription drugs are more powerful than
other drugs which it also means they are easier
to overdose on. In order to help curve the problem,
Canada, is going to put a new tracking system in
place. This system will help restrain the abuse
of the highly addictive Oxycontin, along with other
prescription drugs. This system will keep track
of painkillers, sedatives, stimulants, and other
prescription narcotics and other controlled substances.
Drugs, such as Oxycontin, are dangerous because
they are directly absorbed into the bloodstream.
In fact, thirty-five percent of the drug gets absorbed
instantly. The drug attaches to certain receptors
in your spine and brain, blocking your body from
receiving messages. This drug is very dangerous,
especially mixed with other drugs and/or alcohol.
Side effects: Respiratory decrease,
drowsiness, dizziness, headaches, sedation, nausea,
vomiting, anorexia, urinary alterations, rashes,
bruising, sweating, vision impairment, death, addiction,
and change in blood pressure.
Signs of an overdose: Cardiac arrest,
clammy skin, coma skeletal muscles, slowed respiratory,
and death.
